Creative Chat: A Vision for a Creative District in Wilmington

Are you an artist, maker or entrepreneur? Interested in a creative community where you can live and practice your craft?

Wilmington Renaissance Corporation invites you to a Creative Chat: A Vision for a Creative District in Wilmington with Special Guest: Evan Malone, Ph.D., President, NextFab

Thursday, July 31 from 6pm – 7:30pm
at the Chris White Gallery

Learn about the vision for a Creative District in Wilmington that will establish a creative community with living and work spaces for artists and entrepreneurs in the City of Wilmington.

A fabrication lab is a key component of the Creative District Vision Plan. Dr. Malone, President of NextFab in Philadelphia (www.nextfab.com), will share NextFab’s model of a collective workspace and idea incubator that brings industrious creatives together. Founded in 2009, this for-profit workshop’s membership base has access to two million dollars’ worth of machinery and top-notch instructors to make everything from laser cut felt jewelry to medical monitoring devices.

Wilmington Renaissance Corporation’s Creative Chat is an informal, interactive series held six times a year at the Chris White Gallery to update our community about the vision plan for a Creative District. Events start with a networking opportunity followed by a presentation by an expert in the creative or maker field. Creative Chats are free and open to the public.
